Question 2296 Deck Safety
70% to passUse the material in Section 1, the blue pages, of the Stability Data Reference Book. If the KG is 22.0 feet, and the drafts are: FWD 23'-06", AFT 24'-03"; at what angle will the vessel lose positive stability?
A
76°
B
84°
C
89°
D
98°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 98°. The angle at which a vessel will lose positive stability can be determined using the information provided about the vessel's KG (vertical center of gravity) and drafts. Based on the Stability Data Reference Book, Section 1 (the blue pages), a vessel will lose positive stability at an angle of 98° when the KG is 22.0 feet and the drafts are 23'-06" forward and 24'-03" aft. The other options are incorrect because they do not match the specific angle of 98° that corresponds to the given KG and draft information, as per the Stability Data Reference Book.
